Route 11

Route 11 is a route that connects Cragonos Mines and Aredia City. It is also accessible via the Sky Train that links to Cragonos Peak and Route 10. Well known for being a desert route, a sandstorm constantly rages throughout the area, and is home to numerous Ground-type Pokémon.

Tomb
There's a tomb on the right side of the route after continuing forward for a bit. Paleontologist Aria is positioned there with stairs near her. Climbing the stairs will lead to a cracked rock blocking the way, which requires Rock Smash to continue.

Cragonos Mines Exit
The Cragonos Mines exit towards this route is located behind the Sky Train Station, where it has red stone that are used as ramps, as well as rails. Hiker Alec is on these ramps, so be wary of an encounter there. This exit leads back to the other side of Lower Cragonos Mines that is blocked by a cracked rock, which requires Rock Smash to go through.

Trainers
Note: Trainers marked with a star symbol (*) can be rematched.

Pokémon
Players can encounter these Pokémon in the deep sand (indicated by a darker shade than the normal sand).

Trivia

 * This route provides the most trainers available for rematches out of all accessible routes, as 2/3 of them can be battled again.
 * Rising Star Darren provides 5 Physical Attack Effort Values when defeated, becoming the replacement of Worker Deven after he vanished from Cragonos Mines. Furthermore, since his team only provides Physical Attack EVs, he is a much better hotspot than Gentleman Nolan back on Route 8.
 * Additionally, he provides more money than Gentleman Nolan (who has his reward reduced by almost half), making him a better choice when it comes to farming for money, which becomes important for Mega Stones.
 * The deep sand was a lighter color compared to the normal sand when Route 11 was released. However, it is now a darker color.
